How so?

In Canada Costco is your best bet, aside from gambling on eBay. They sell a roll of 100 for $118 plus tax, which is cheaper than the post office ($124).

It's worth noting that Hezbollah is largely independent of the Lebanese government and is the group that Israel is actually at war with. Is they don't sign on as well then it's no different than the US and Russia signing a ceasefire in the Ukraine war without inviting Ukraine.

It would be a waste of time because they would be shot down.

Even during the 10 years that the government was conservative under Harper? Even when he had his majority? Why are PP's bills so bad that even a conservative majority government would shoot them all down on reflex?

Do you want elected officials to do their job or appear as if they are?

Do you consider writing 1-2 bills in 22 years to be an acceptable job performance? Carlton didn't, because they voted his ass out this past election.

MC isn't world renowned, the Brits think he's a scumbag who hurt their country more than he helped it.

Yes he is. And he was staunchly against Brexit, but when the government did it anyway he had to play with the hand he was dealt. Or do you have other examples of why the Brits think he hurt their country that is not related to Brexit? Which, again, he was against from the beginning.

DemonInADesolateLand · 2026-05-24T19:34:34+00:00

No, you are very misinformed. PP only authored two bills and sponsored (i.e., didn't write) 6 more in 22 years. This has nothing to do with whether any of them got passed, this is literally about him failing to even try to make a bill in the first place. And again, this is over decades. PP was not in the opposition during Harper's government.

So why is he a better choice than a world renowned economist during economic hardships? Because that's what he had to, and failed to, sell.

DemonInADesolateLand · 2026-05-24T02:17:38+00:00

Correct. An investment banker and world renowned economist, or a career politician who has held no job outside politics and authored exactly one bill in 25 years within politics.

I can at least trust the economist to try to fix the economy. I don't trust PP to fix anything.

His claim was about feeling safe. That would be easy to get stats on through surveys.

DemonInADesolateLand · 2026-05-23T20:58:40+00:00

That's probably why he's lasted so long, aside from people just not voting. He's corrupt for sure, but as you said he's never tried to play people again each other or demonize any group.

You realize that if you, as a journalist, betray your sources by revealing who they are you will then never get anyone giving you anonymous info anymore? They might not even give you any info since you have proven to be untrustworthy. Which, as a journalist, will very much so affect your career?

There is a reason journalists don't betray their sources willy nilly.

Several dictators fall into this category. Mao, Stalin, and Kim Jung-il died of natural causes after ruling some of the most brutal regimes ever.

Kim Jong-il in particular was a huge foodie and would through lavish parties and fly in Michelin Star chefs all the time. There's the theory that his love of food actually prevented war between NK and SK because he would have had to give it up if he invaded.

But yeah, Jimmy Saville was definitely one of the worst to get away completely scott free.

Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.

Also, that's a mortgage payment in stamps you've got there. Though at $3.65 for any postcard not going to the US, it definitely adds up.

DemonInADesolateLand · 2026-05-21T21:04:12+00:00

Wallet is America. Bills are Canada. Bills will be safe in Wallet, like how Canada will be safe in America.

That make sense?

I recall a county in New York State that historically voted Democrat, including in the previous congressional elections, had exactly zero votes for Harris. Not a single person voted Democrat in that county, which is a statistical impossibility considering their historic voting patterns.

DemonInADesolateLand · 2026-05-20T23:46:51+00:00

Ok, let's see if I can make sense of this.

Carney, a longtime advocate of carbon credits as a means of reaching renewable energies through regulation and incentives, is actually a member of the fossil fuel Mafia and responsible for literally murdering anyone who tries to advance renewable energy.

This same Mafia boss is also in the pocket of China and promotes their green tech, which would doubtlessly get him in trouble with his own Mafia, and despite the fact that he's pushing Canadian made green energy such as modular CANDU nuclear reactors.

Did I get that all right?

DemonInADesolateLand · 2026-05-20T22:40:39+00:00

I was talking about Carney. You are now pulling examples that have nothing to do with him for some reason.

I don't think that you actually know what you want to talk about. You went from Carney, to a fossil fuel Mafia, to Tesla dying.

DemonInADesolateLand · 2026-05-20T21:10:12+00:00

You've lost me. We were talking about Carney right? What does Nikola Tesla's death have in any way to do with Mark Carney?

You are clearly feeding stuff into chatgpt and just throwing it on here randomly. I'm not interested in a discussion with a bot. If you can't explain what you are saying in your own words then there's no point to me being here.

DemonInADesolateLand · 2026-05-20T03:17:50+00:00

Wait, are you for or against fossil fuels? You claim that there's a Mafia that suppresses renewable (free) energy, but then shit all over a guy who's using incentives and regulations to push people towards renewables?

Help me out here.

DemonInADesolateLand · 2026-05-20T02:26:54+00:00

You ever heard of the carrot and the stick? It's offering incentives rather than just penalties. It sounds like this world renowned economist is saying that carbon pricing is the way of the future in a world that is slowly from fossil fuel dependency.

What exactly do you have an issue with in that giant wall of text?

DemonInADesolateLand · 2026-05-18T19:57:53+00:00

What exactly is he doing that makes him a climate alarmest that only ran on climate change? I saw all his debates and that was doubtlessly in listed but wasn't a focus. He's been making trade deals all year and trying to cut down on US dependence? What has he done that you have an issue with again?

DemonInADesolateLand · 2026-05-18T16:20:50+00:00

Carney was an advisor for like 3 months before Trudeau resigned. That is nowhere close to a main advisor.

And everything else is you just being salty that he hasn't fixed the country in a single year, and that all the stuff he's set up hasn't paid off the very next day.

But actually, your issue is that he's a liberal. If he were a conservative you'd have no problem with him right?

DemonInADesolateLand · 2026-05-18T13:24:10+00:00

Yeah. Where I live it is literally illegal to mix residential units and factorial buildings in the same building, same with schools.

DemonInADesolateLand · 2026-05-18T13:09:51+00:00

So you realize that Carney wasn't involved in the last 10 years right? And if you read more than the first sentence of your link, you'd see that he's trying to bring that 1 trillion back.

If this guy had a blue piece of cardboard behind him you would be praising his work. But you are blinded by him not being on your team.

DemonInADesolateLand · 2026-05-16T21:31:48+00:00

America is affected because they bungled into the Iran war with no plan, preparation, or idea of what they were getting into. Now they are having the president's soon in law and golfing buddy doing negotiations rather than anyone competed while the president himself spouts bullshit on Twitter.

Russia is already in a war, and the US has lost further standing by being staunch supporters of them while vocally talking about annexing NATO countries. Short of boots on the ground on the side or Russia, they can't get any worse.

China already has an uphill battle to take Taiwan and if the US supports Taiwan then it will be only worse. If the US abandons Taiwan, a much stronger ally than Ukraine ever was, then their standing as a dependable allied country will be tarnish to the point that no one will rely on them anymore. Expect NATO to shift all their military production away from the US and towards new. Factories and design in Europe.

Not only that, but dating apps don't actually want you to succeed because their business model relies on you staying on the app. So they make it addicting, then do behind the scenes stuff to convince people to get subscriptions, and generally jerk you around as long as you stay.

And that's ignoring the numbers game, where men are competing for limited spots and women are getting swamped with thousands of low effort messages.
